There’s a very familiar voice on the soundtrack for new Apple Original series Slow Horses.
Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger has just released his solo track, called Strange Game, which is also the theme song for the new drama starring Gary Oldman.
The tune was co-written, recorded and performed by Jagger, alongside film composer Daniel Pemberton, and the release coincides with the global premiere of the first two episodes of Slow Horses airing on Apple TV+
The track is described as “atmospheric and infectious” and “underpinned by Jagger’s powerful and eery vocals”, making it a “poignant, moodily strutting theme tune”.
Based on the series of books by Mick Herron, Slow Horses follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in an MI5 department in Slough House on the outskirts of London.
Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the leader of the spies who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes.
The six-part series also stars Kristen Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce, Olivia Cook and Jack Lowden.
Mick teased the track’s release on his Twitter page last month, sending fans into a frenzy about the new project.
He wrote: “I’ve been working on a fun project with the composer Daniel Pemberton… look out for it coming soon!”
At the same time, Pemberton said in a statement: “Working with Mick Jagger has been one of the most exciting collaborations of my professional career. I think we have managed to create an incredibly unique and original title theme and I cannot wait for the rest of the world to hear it.”
